I've mentioned on this topic before about the danger from dams being breached as a result o melting glaciers. The following isn't due to climate change but shows the danger from collapsing dams as a result of companies getting away with poor quality and maintenance in distant countries. It's not only the ones in Brazil. LINK

See THIS BBC report of the 'news' that gas usage in homes contributes to CO2 emissions. I think we knew that. It's all very well saying it should be banned but have we an electricity generating capacity to make up what would be an increased demand? More importantly, how would that power be generated? More questions than answers.

See THIS BBC account of a report from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. They warn that Wildfires in California are a consequence of climate change and can be expected to increase. Not, as asserted by Trump, a consequence of bad management of the fire fighting system! I wonder if he's reading it......

What used to be regarded as a once in lifetime event, namely the overwhelming of Hull Pot which sits in the foothills of Penyghent. Yesterday after 5" of rain in less than 24 hours the massive sunken cavern that leads to the pot in the base was overwhelmed filling the void.

On a much smaller scale I noted the same thing in Barlick, standing water on land where I had never seen it before. The wandering Jet Stream was the primary cause and that is believed to be due to global climate change.

The head of the Environment Agency warns that as summers get warmer and dryer, a trend that is undeniable, river flows in some heavily populated areas are not going to be sufficient and that a shortage of water is coming. The answer is investment in reservoirs, educating the public to drop consumption and forcing the water companies to get leakage rates down. Any signs that anyone is listening?

There is a simpler answer to all those mentioned. Put the cost of water up. Water meter charges can be racked up on virtually any pretext. Bigger profits for the utilities is always an incentive for raising prices.

But those able to pay or unaware of the cost will still waste water P.
The Cyclone on the East coat of Africa is described as 'the worst weather related event in living memory'. Any connection with climate change?

No surprise there Tiz. All the evidence is pointing the same way and yet we have people like Trump rubbishing the results and a Parliament here that has its collective head that far up its own bottom it does nothing but make a fool of itself. We aren't fit to run a planet.....
Have you noticed that it is routine now to accept that Prof Lovelock is right, we have probably passed the 'tipping point' and are now on the slippery slope to global disaster?

There's been a serious failure to explain to the public that some of what has changed could take a century or more to reverse. We've been pumping more heat into the oceans, for instance, and that won't revert quickly.
